Red Sox vs. Marlins Prediction and Pick

I broke down this pick in SI Betting’s daily MLB best bets column, Walk-Off Wagers:

The Red Sox have been a streaky team this season and they’re on another hot streak right now. After sweeping the Giants at home, they have their ace on the mound as they go for the sweep in Miami.

Sonny Gray did allow four runs in six innings last time out, but it was a 6-4 win for the Red Sox. He’s rarely allowed more than a few runs in two straight starts this season, and this Miami offense has struggled recently.

Ryan Gusto has been solid recently for the Marlins, but Gray should be able to outduel him in Miami.

Pick: Red Sox -129
